Grommit _(noun) An offensive term used to describe a male person, ranging in age from adolescence to young adulthood. Usually an obnoxious miscreant of urban or suburban upbringing, a Grommit's life usually revolves around low-grade or under-weight grams of marijuana (see also Grom). A Grommit is usually a half-assed (as in "not very talented") skateboarder, or surfer, or (typically in more rural areas) skimboarder. Grommits can usually be found in the parking lots of liquor stores and gas stations throughout most of the U.S. and Canada, where they are known to hassle people to illegally buy them cigarettes and/or beer. Their dress style/music preference can range from "crunk-hiphop douche-bag," to "skinny-jeans-wearin' emo-twerp," to" neo-metal nincompoop." Whatever their style be, Grommits are ALWAYS considered posers, and if you find yourself making a purchase at "Hot Topic," chances are you are one of them. Outside of skate/surf/skim-boarding, Grommit activities usually include: jacking candy from 7/11 as a political statement of "sticking it to DA-MAN," huffing gold-flake spray paint for an all-time classy buzz, harassing semi-friends of theirs who work at Taco Bell to "hook 'em up with a Churro," and last but not least, competing with each other over the heart of the Grommit female counterpart, the Gromette.

Man.... I left my car unlocked in the 7/11 parking lot for two minutes and the damn grommits stole my pack of smokes off the dash. Worthless parking lot RATS!!!!!

Just a little skate(board) rat(kid), this could apply to other "extreme" sports as well such as surfing, BMXing, motocross, etc. It can't however apply to traditional team sports. The kid should be hardcore skater and isn't your next door neighbor with knee-pads and rollerblades but it could be referred to a novice skater as well.
